Re: [google-cloud-sql-discuss] Re: Cloud SQL external backups (postgres)

Agree. This is absolute insanity.  What is the proper way to get this issue resolved?

Good thing there is a request about it. I just don't understand how Google does not have this available yet. It's crazy, someone can hack into my account and they can delete my database. Backups are deleted as well so boom, my business is gone, non-restorable. I just don't get it.. I think most users don't know about this risk.

There should be a soft-delete first, only after confirm per e-mail or SMS code hard-delete. Or it should be restorable for at least 24 hours. Or it should be backupped to an external location. Even the cheapest hosting solution have better protection against all this than Google does..

Anyway, enough said. I will make sure that I backup it to an external cloud (not sure how yet, hope I can do this with the API by creating an export and later moving the export to Amazon storage bucket).

When an instance is deleted, the backups are deleted as well, which means you cannot restore it unless you manually did an export before deleting. If it helps, only users with Cloud SQL Admin role can delete an instance.

Otherwise, I have found an open feature request that covers your use case [3]. However there are not ETAs or guarantees for implementation.
